3.1. GENERAL
Section 3 of this handbook describes the procedures to be adopted in the event of an emergency
or abnormal situation occurring in the GA8-TC 320 aircraft.
The procedures are arranged in the sequence considered to be the most desirable in the majority
of cases. Steps should be performed in the order listed unless good reasons for deviation exist.
It should be remembered however, that all conceivable eventualities cannot be foreseen by the
manufacturer. Particular circumstances such as multiple or unanticipated emergencies, adverse
weather etc. may require modication to these procedures. A thorough knowledge of the aircraft
and its systems is essential to analyse the situation correctly and determine the best course of
action in any particular circumstance.
The following basic rules apply to all aircraft emergencies:
1. Maintain Aircraft Control.
2. Analyse the situation and take appropriate action.
3. Land as soon as practicable.
